TiCaudata's Mish Mash Campaign

Kote stares at the man, slightly dumbfounded. "I believe all i need is the scroll actually. Planning ahead you know."

"Well my good man, I see there being a number of reasons you could want a scroll.

One is because you need something identified, a service I could easily provide for less than the cost of a scroll.
Two is because you need the spell. Selling you a scroll means that I would have to go the time, expense, and trouble of finding more pearls and making a new scroll. I could just as easily rent you my spellbook and a room for a day and remove the middle steps.
Three is because you think you you will be stumbling upon some magical items soon. As a purveyor of magical goods I have a bit of a vested interest in future clients, and we might be able to make a deal depending on just what items you think you may find." The man simply raises his eyebrows at Kote when he is finished.

Angrod looks dumbly between Ava and Kote and shrugs again.

When the sage begins talking, the elf, starts counting on his fingers. He looks at Logan and whispers, "Who in the Hells counts off lists like that?"

Logan looks over toward the conversation from the path and shouts, "Just give him the dirt-covered scroll!"

"Well, if he doesn't want to sell us his wares, we can just find someone else that will sell us what we want."

it takes 1 day of studying another guy's spellbook, he doesn't much care where the second day is spent[/sblock]

Kote stares at the man with a mixture of consideration and suspicion. "You make a good point sir. What fee would you charge for such a service? Do you have someplace quiet I could study?"

Turning back to his companions, he says "He's quite right, purchasing a scroll would force him to recreate it. If we can spare the time necessary to study his spellbook, it should save us even more coin."

[sblock=Ti]'US!?!' The old man must think we're staying together...

Well... that might be good in the long run. And a group can do more than I can alone...

But waste a whole DAY?[/sblock]
"Ah... ain't there some... faster way?" Angrod asks. "I... sorta need the coin we should be gettin'." The elf becomes nervous again.

TiCaudata · Oct 18, 2007

"Well if speed is of the essence you can just buy as many scrolls as you need. They are 125 gold each versus 50 gold to spend a day in my workshop. If you wish to throw in another 5 gold, I have a spare room in which you can stay and I'll have Imelda make a little extra food." He starts as Angrod's belly rumbles loudly. "Maybe a goodly amount of extra food. Just don't tell the tax collectors that I'm running a hostel no? He jests good naturedly.

"Oh and if you want the room, you can feel free to spend the next day here copying as well."
